The information coming out about Legoland is becoming more and more disturbing. The residents of Goshen found out the Goshen Town Board knew about Legoland possibly coming to Goshen in May 2016. This is before they turned down developer Scott Leyton from building on the same site. The reason given for the refusal, and I quote Town Supervisor Bloomfield: "One of the things about Goshen is the historic charm and beauty of our community, bringing in more traffic is a deterrent to the quality of life. Water has always been an issue. We don't have an overabundance of water."

This was in a Town document dated March 25, 2016, well after Supervisor Bloomfield knew about Legoland coming to town, so his statement is very disturbing. He must have known we would have enough water for Legoland, yet he is telling this developer we do not. What is going on here? And all of a sudden traffic doesn't matter? The historical charm doesn't matter any more? Do we have enough water?
